Loving the weather lately - mid 40s this morning, 10 mph winds. Goal for today was 7 easy, 5 @ HMP (7:10-7:15 target)
7 easy: 8:09, 8:19, 8:13, 8:05, 7:51, 8:02, 7:59 (8:05 AP)
5 fast: 7:12, 7:01, 7:03, 6:52, 6:34 (6:56 AP)
7:37 AP overall
So as usual I got carried away at the end but I was definitely due for a workout and it felt nice to let loose a little. Next week, I'll be back to higher mileage (50s for me) and more tempos. | |

More tempo. Must get faster before half marathon next month. Actually, I felt pretty crappy today - big difference from Sunday's workout. I did 6 easy, then 4 tempo (target 7:00-7:10). The 4 tempo were 7:00, 7:02, 7:09, 7:12. I actually quit after the 3rd mile and started jogging since it was getting way too hard but then I felt like a total wimp. After about a minute of 8:30 pace, I sped up again and almost brought the last mile down to my target. So a small victory on an otherwise "off" day.
7:42 AP. | |

Computer said 60F, wind S 21-28 mph as I left to go run this morning...felt about right. We were overdue for the stupid wind to come back. Plan was 5 easy then 6 @ MP (target 7:35), but the conditions made doing any specific pace work kinda pointless. MP was about a 6:45 effort going south and 8:00 effort going north. So let's just say I ran 11 miles and moved my feet a little faster for the last 6.
7:59 AP overall.
1 weird thing happened - on the way back I was running on a sidewalk, approaching the driveway of an apartment complex. Someone was driving out of the complex, and I made sure I had eye contact with him. Then, looking at me the whole time, he continues out of the driveway and stops right in the middle of the sidewalk and I had to come to a quick stop to avoid running into the side of his truck. Then he continues to just stare at me as if to say, "yep, that just happened...what now?" A younger slowjoe would not have let it go so easily but I just trotted around and continued on my way. | |

| 8:08 pace. Wind today? Calm. Would've been a nice day for a workout, oh well. |

I did 8 at a 7:54 avg (sped up a little the last couple miles) this morning. Then took the kids to go watch Danielle run a local 5k and get a ridiculously large PR. The kids had a lot of fun watching mommy finish fast!
* So I was browsing the discussion boards and saw someone linked this article: http://www.boston.com/sports/marathon/blog/2011/02/baa_announces_new_procedures_f.html
Basically the BQ time goes down 5 minutes for everyone for 2013. If I were to qualify in Houston with a 3:10 in 2012, it wouldn't be fast enough because the earliest I could run Boston would be 2013 (needing a 3:05)! Also, they will base when you can register on how much you beat your qualifying time. So it looks like I will be working at this for quite sometime before I can run in the big one. I'm thinking I'll need under 3 hours for sure, which will take years if I ever get there! Turning 35 in 3 years will help, I guess. Kinda disappointing, but in a weird way I'm excited that it is harder (more special?) and I'll be able to chase that now-far-away goal a lot longer. I guess I was late to the party with the whole running craze. | |
